Routledge Women and Religion in the West - Academic Book

Explore the complex relationship between women and secularization in the West through this scholarly volume. While women continue to form the majority of religious adherents, there is a growing trend of women abandoning traditional religion. This book examines the reasons behind this shift and the impact it has on religious communities. Part of the Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspective Series, this work is produced in association with the BSA Sociology of Religion Study Group. It addresses the fundamental questions of why women are leaving traditional structures, where they are going, and what changes are occurring for those who stay. This text provides a necessary look at a topic often overlooked in debates regarding religious belonging and departure. It is an essential resource for those studying the changing landscape of faith and gender in Western society.
